Luis Zehr's Photography and Videography Blog

Welcome to my awesome wedding photography and wedding videography blog here on Weebly. I will be posting articles, uploading videos and photos from time to time so stop by anytime to view my work. I'd like to know what you all think of it! Thanks, Luis Z :-)

Wahlstrom creates weekly videos for his YouTube channel, and in his lifetime has seen the act of sharing video progress from home camcorder footage shared with friends and family to full HD video shared with the entire world via YouTube.

The same progression has occurred in photography, and Wahlstrom uses the example of wedding photography, in which the market has become incredibly saturated, making breaking through very difficult. Social media has made photography ubiquitous, with millions of photos being shared every second.

With so much beautiful photography being created and shared every day, it’s easy to get disheartened and feel that your own work is just a drop in the bucket. As Wahlstrom says:

It’s easy to worry that everything’s been done; that all photographs have been taken. For this reason, I think it’s important to remember that anyone can sit down and write a story. Anyone can pick up a guitar and strum, anyone can paint a picture. This accessibility hasn’t in any way diminished great works of music, literature, or art. Photography is the same.

So, what is a photographer? Wahlstrom says that maybe it all boils down to perception. “Do you think you’re a photographer? Then you probably are,” he says.
